Hesston, PA -- The opening race for the 2002 Hesston Speedway season has
rained out April 13.

Hesston Promoters Butch and Linda Grubb announced the cancellation at
10:30 a.m. to minimize inconvenience for race teams and fans.

The rain pushes the Hesston opener back to April 20 with pit gates open
at 2 p.m. for safety inspections and the grandstand open at 5 p.m. for a
five-feature event with the Hesston Speedway 305 Sprints, Shellbrook
Stables Limited Late Models, Grubb Lumber V-8 Street Stock, Goshorn
Racing Supply Four-Cylinder Pure Stock and Chet Grove's Cars Unlimited
V-8 Hobby Stock divisions.

The April 20 racing will be a no-points event to provide a chance for
drivers and crews to work out any 'bugs' but will pay regular Hesston
purses. The first points race will be the Goshorn Racing Supply Trophy
Night April 27.

Seven

in
Huntingdon and 45 miles north on Routes 30W and 26 from the Breezewood
Exit 12 of
the PA Turnpike. For information call the track at 814-658-2823 or
